Starting point is 00:00:00 that says, I try and sue the ABC, but instead my pants fall down and I try to waddle away but accidentally waddle over a balcony and land headfirst into a truck of pig manure and my legs wriggle around and everyone sees my heart-pattened boxer shorts. Hello and welcome to Budapesta, episode 202. My name is Ben and I'm here in the beautiful country of Lithuania doing all the normal things that someone in Lithuania would do. With me, wearing traditional Lithuanian garb and eating the traditional cuisine of Lithuania, it's Theo. Hey, how are you going? good, how are you? I'm good. Do you think these Blakely Hukkins are more Lithuanian than Eith, than bloody Estonian or? I would hate to get them mixed up.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Yeah, because that, you know, that nuances are so important. But of course, because we know so much about both Lithuanian and Estonian culture, it's easy for us. I wouldn't want to confuse the listener though. That's right, the tassels are a dead giveaway, with or without. I'll leave you up to the viewers interpretation as to whether Lithuania are pro-tassel or antitassal. And you don't want to tell, like you don't want to get that wrong around Lithuanian people, or Estonian people. Especially not Estonian people, am I right? Focused. That is so true. That is so true. Also with me is Lucy, who is standing in a house that showcases the distinct and easy to describe vernacular architecture, very common in Lithuania. Hey Lucy. Hi, so I am in Lithuania and so my
Starting point is 00:02:08 house is full of our major export goods which include refined fuel, machinery and equipment, chemicals, textiles, foodstuffs and plastics as you will see here in Lithuania. I don't even see you do that. That is honestly incredible. You invite friends around, like, sit on the cash-nada, just push the barrel of refined fuels out of the wave. Yeah, enjoy my textiles. We have plenty of foodstuffs here, largely imported from Russia, a little less from Latvia. Please come in and enjoy my textiles. Last but certainly not least, it's Andrew. is playing a beautiful traditional Lithuanian
Starting point is 00:02:50 folk song on one of Lithuania's many iconic instruments. Oh, Svikas! Come on now. It's hello. It can't be true. Is that true? To a male in Lithuania. Well, I've just got done eating my kept-a-du-da-du-ona
Starting point is 00:03:08 and ready to jam out on whatever the fuck this thing is that I'm holding. Well, you did get around to giggling with the way musical instruments. That was a curveball. Yeah. I was several strings. Yep. I believe you're holding a guitar. No. That doesn't sound right at all.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Don't sound weird enough. Remember that time the Latvian post office lost a bunch of our merch? Yes. Yep. I don't know where Latvia is. Well apparently it's quite adjacent to Lithuania. Well that's confusing. So a bunch of people ordered mugs and they came out through the Latvian post office and then they just kind of sat there for, say, three months, you know? And I messaged the people who make the merch and I said, hey, what's going on with this merch? And they said, well, look, it might seem like the Latvian Post Office lost it all but maybe it's arrived at the local post offices of
Starting point is 00:04:09 all the different people who ordered them so just get in contact with each of those people and get them to go down to their local post office and ask him to just have a look around in the back. And I said, you check behind the shelves. I said, really? You want me to contact each individual customer and ask them to go down to their local post office and just ask them to poke around and they went, yes. And I said, okay and I waited 48 hours and then I sent them a message that said all of our customers have visited the local post office and they cannot find the mugs. So they refunded all of our customers and the customers the customers the customers the customers.. I the customers, and the customers, like their their their their their their their their their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact their to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to contact to to to to to to to to to to c. to to to c. to c. their their their customer their customer their customer their customer their customer their customer. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I c. I their customer. I their customer their customer their c. I their their their their customer customer customer customer customer customer their their their their their their their cu. I cu. I the local post office and they cannot find the mugs. So they refunded all of our customers and then like another
Starting point is 00:04:50 month later they all got a free mug. So there are like 11 post offices in Australia where if you go in on the right day someone will be drinking coffee out of one of the old Bundavista monks. That's right. What are you doing here in Lithuania Ben? What are you enjoying? What are you enjoying? What are you taking part in? Checking out the iconic scenery of Lithuania. The mountains? The lakes. Maybe there's some kind of rolling glen. Oh, Lithuania doesn't sound like glen country to me. No? You don't think Lithuania is good enough for a Glen? I don't think it's about quality, I think it's just, it doesn't stir up the image of a glen in my mind. I'm picturing some sort of very bleak-looking forests where there are like pigs the size of a man in there.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Are you thinking like arboreal tending towards tiger. Oh yeah it's certainly elements of tiger for sure yeah I'm thinking horror movie forest I'm thinking like angry satanic goats in there yeah in Lithuania I'm just I'm gonna say it Lithuania looks really nice shout out to get you probably beautiful with a waynia. That's big fans Lithuania. Fuck Latvia, fuck Estonia. Check out Lithuania. Live deliciously. Live.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Live. Ah, to live deliciously in Lithuania. The official tourism slough. Live. This episode sponsored by the Lithuanian Tourism Department. And we got paid 17 Lithuanian roubles. We're set for life. Our pallet of canned fish is on the way.
Starting point is 00:06:32 It's so good that like the bulk of most of the countries in Europe, you can be like, oh they're probably into some sort of canned fish in some fucked up. And they all think each other's canned fish is just all kinds of fucked up. Yeah, and Italy is the only ones that are correct. They've done normal canned fish and everyone else is doing fucked up canned fish. I kind of just put some olive oil in there with some salt. Yeah. What do you want? Everyone else is like, oh, your canned fish tasks good? Oh, you're amateurs. Oh, you can't thau! Oh You can legally take those on a plane.
Starting point is 00:07:06 We all know that embarrassing sound, don't we? You know, just as you finally reached cruising altitude and you hear the seal on the tin of roll mops in your carry-on luggage pop, you know? Oh boy. That's why I make sure to take my roll mops out of my backpack when they're going through the security thing so that they can x-ray each individual one. Well if yeah if they catch you with them in the backpack, they either make you tip them out or eat them all right there at the security conveyor belt. I mean you to eat all those fucked up fish.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Oh no. Oh dear. Speaking of living deliciously with things that you eat from the ocean, it's time to find out about probably the most delicious thing you could eat that you have stolen from the ocean. I can't eat it. Nature Corner, not you. the most delicious thing you could eat that you have stolen from the ocean. I can't eat it. Nature Corner, rubber crab snipped my deer. Uh, Nature Corner, featuring the finest of animals that Theo will not permit himself to eat.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Are we talking about an eagle? Eagles? Yep. Come on. Permit yourself once. Live deliciously. Just a cheeky eagle. I've held an eagle. Did you at any point where you're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Hey, just one little bite. No, it's a fucking terrifying. Imagine how mad an eagle would get if you bit it while you were holding it. Did you see the series of tweets where there was some anime poster on Twitter and they were with their wifoo doll on their man. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and an eagle stole it. And then they went and got it back and the next photo was their sink full of blood. It's being gored by an eagle.
Starting point is 00:09:26 I'm being gored by. No, thank you. My goodness. Now, Theo. That's your wifoo now. We're doing a wellness check on Theo here. When was the last time that you did your yearly am I still allergic to shellfish check? God, I'm done.
Starting point is 00:09:42 You're over it? shellfish check. Oh God, I'm done. It's not worth it, not worth it anymore. You think you finally, after, you know, that it's, yeah. After 30 or so years, you finally internalize the knowledge that shellfish is bad for you. Is bad for me, absolutely. I'm good I think, unless, you know, just some garlic prawns on top of your steak. It's a lobster dinner. All right, so none of this for you. No.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But this is an article from USA Today, back at the far-flung past of 2018. Remember that? Yeah. No idea what was coming down the pipe. You could spit in any stranger's mouth back then. You there, would you like to do a cough swap? Absolutely stranger. Oh, good old days of just breathing directly into each other's mouths on the tram.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Just kissing people that you jammed up against peak hour on the train. Oh, sorry, sir. Oh, I don't mean to there we go. Like that that iconic Victory Day photo of the sailor kissing the kissing the lady. Streets just full of people doing that all the time right up until this year pandemic. Until the pandemic ruined kissing strangers for all of us. That's the main thing they were trying to stop. And they were right to do it. Well, it's fair. Anything we can do to stamp out
Starting point is 00:11:11 public displays of affection I think. Yeah. Look I'll admit it. I'm one of those don't do you kink in public people. Oh don't. I don't want to have this fucking. Oh, remember when those people are like, here's a video of me dog walking my girlfriend on a leash. She's drinking out of like, she's drinking out of a dog bowl on the floor of this Denny's in front of a bunch of families. It's like, come on. Please. Real crime is going to Denny's. Am I right? American listeners?
Starting point is 00:11:48 And Lucy? You're very incorrect on that way, but anyway. I love a Denny's. It's no I hope, but I love a Denny's. Whatever? You ever said to have a thinneys? You ever seen a band famous for having a front man who's always just in his underpants, big, sweaty, hairy guy. Just climb it all over.
Starting point is 00:12:08 That's what you want to see in and Dannings. Yeah, it's great. It's the most baffling thing in the world. I refuse to look into the context of it because I don't want to know how that happened or why. It's gorgeous. You know how they got a, they're got they got they got they got, they're got, they're got, they're they're they're they're they're their, their, they're their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. That's th. That's th. That, th. That, th. That, th. That, th. It's th. It's th. It's the. It's thea. It's thea. It's thea. It's thea. It's thea. It's thea. It's there's like just the house of pancakes. Pancake pauler, thank you. Pancake manna? Pancake manor, depending on what safety you're in. Pancake manor, lady da.
Starting point is 00:12:34 We're just down here in the parlor. The only I hop I know about is what kangaroos do. Moving on, so we do have things like pancake parlor and shit here, and like one of my kids recently was like, hey, maybe we could go to that place that we went with like grandma one time when she was visiting, you know, and we were trying to figure out what it was, and then we figured out it was pancake parlor and I was like, fuck no. Because that shit is like, here's a small stack stack of pancakes that'll be $30. They're so good though. They're so overpriced. They're so expensive.
Starting point is 00:13:10 No pancake is that good. They are not worth it. Nothing on this. So expensive. Absolutely wild stuff. I tell you what probably costs even more than that. There's a main restaurant planning to hot box lobsters with marijuana before cooking them. A main restaurant has a theory on how to ease lobster pain.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Smoke them out and then steam them up. Can we just pause for a moment here? Yep. I've never understood. So why does it, why do the lobsters have to be boiled alive? Why can't we just like balance a little nail in between their eyes and just kind of whack that with a hammer? Why can't we get one of those things from no country for old men but keep it to the same scale so that when you use it is completely obliterates the entire lobster face? That's exactly. But that's what you should do. No, no, they boil them alive. They chop them in. Some places do, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:12 I remember watching a Jamie Oliver thing where he was showing you how to do lobsters, right? And he was like, yeah, look, there's this point where the shell joins up, like on the back of the head. Oh yeah, there's a line. The kitchen scissor thing. No, no, no, it was just like there's like a little sort of cross section and he's like, yeah you just put the tip of your knife in here and then go bang, bang and you've gone like straight through their brain and instantly killed them, toss them in the pot. You absolutely don't th th th th th th th th th th th, th, th, th, their th, th, their tho, tho, tho, their tho, their tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, there, there, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, there, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. It, th. It, th. It's, tho, tho, tho, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the have, and have also convinced yourself that you have to sedate, I don't know that this counts of sedation personally.
Starting point is 00:14:53 It does how I do it. Hit these lobsters with some morphine. That's what happens. Give lobsters opiates. They are so delicious. They are so delicious. And I would like them to have a nice, a nice deer with opiates and lobsters. Do you reckon if you like injected a lobster with morphine and then ate the lobster, are you getting some of that morphine out of it?
Starting point is 00:15:17 Absolutely. Wow, that was very authoritative there. Charlotte's legendary lobster pound. Pardon? It sounds like they're trying to re-home the lobsters. Yeah, it does. He's heading on down to the lobster pound. If we can't find a home for little Charlie here in the next 12 hours.
Starting point is 00:15:42 We just can't re-home. We just like going in there, walking past all the little lobster clobstery clothes, to find one that's to to to the to that to the that that the next 12 hours. We just can't re-home. Can't home this guy. You just like going in there walking past all the little lubstering clothes and try to find one that vibes on you. Just be like, oh, he's antenna twitching. I think he likes me. If we can't home him, we're going to have to put him down and coat him in delicious butter and garlic. They them in them in their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the with marijuana to sedate the crustaceans
Starting point is 00:16:08 and relieve their pain during the otherwise agonizing cooking process, she told local media. There's no other way that you can think of. How do you think they're gauging whether or not this is stopping the incredible pain. Oh, we will get into this in incredible detail shortly. If they're doing like a pig on the spit, do they think the pig has to be alive first? It just spends like the first three hours. Screaming. Quote, I feel bad that when lobsters come here, there is no exit strategy. Lotses are essentially George Bush at the start of the 2000s, thousands, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, in th, in th, in th, in th, in thi, in thi thi thi thi thi thi, in thi thi thi, in thi, in thi, in thi, in thi, in thi, in thioliolable, in thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th in th, in th, in th, in th, in th, in th, in th, in th, in th in th in thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, in thi, in thi, in thi, in thi, in thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thinin, in thi thi thinin, in thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi bsters come here, there is no exit strategy. Oh my gosh, these are essentially George Bush at the start of the 2000s, am I right?
Starting point is 00:16:50 Oh my goodness. Ooh, some political thing. Hey little buddy, I'm getting a little attachment with you. Shame I'm going to have to boil you alive in a little bit. It does feel a little bit like, do you think her conscience would be, like if she gave them a chance of escaping? Oh. Like, you know, well, I've actually, if you can complete this jump and you can get out. So it's like a fair contest maybe? If you can, if you can set up like the incredible machine-style device device that flips your lobster ass out the door.
Starting point is 00:17:26 If you find a way to yut yourself out of this pot, then everything is forgiven. We are fine. If you can drop a bowling ball onto a small seasaw that propels the lobster up, bounces it off a wall and onto a trampoline that shoots it out of the roof of the restaurant. That lobster can go free. off a wall and onto a trampoline that shoots it out of the roof of the restaurant. That lobster can go free. They don't offer the same thing. They don't offer the same deal to octopus as though.
Starting point is 00:17:52 They don't offer the same deal to octopus though. No. I'm like because they'd just do it. They just do it. Yeah, you'd be like, you'd turn around to tell the octopus the octopus the octopus the octopus the octopus the o' to their their to their their to tell the octopus the terms of its captivity it's already hot white your car and driving your house to have sex with your wife. So owner Charlotte Gill, I believe that's Charlotte of Charlotte's a legendary lobster pound. Had to plan and tested it with a lobster named Roscoe. For starters, stop naming them. Yeah. You're increasing your own bed. In a covered box with two inches of water, the lobster was placed as marijuana smoke was pumped in,
Starting point is 00:18:32 Gil told the newspaper. To understand how the toaks affected Roscoe... That's not a toke. It's not a toke. Hotboxing is not a toke. We can say that. With some authority, I think. Gill observed his behavior rather than cooking him up and took his claw bands off for nearly three weeks.
Starting point is 00:18:53 The result, Roscoe mellowed out, man. Turns out my kids... Roscoe wanted you to watch this 10 minute fucking Floyd performance. Roscoe got very into fish. We've got to check out milk drop, dude. So good. Gil told today he seemed more calm and didn't use his claws as a weapon. In fact, the other lobsters appeared more at ease too.
Starting point is 00:19:24 What, like, Roscoe's good vibes were contagious? That's what I'm hearing. That's how I feel when I go out in public and I'm high. Everyone around me is just like, you know what? This guy's just radiating the wonderful presents. Got a beautiful aura, man. While Roscoe was released back into the ocean, just tossing the sedated lobster. It just sinks directly to the bottom.
Starting point is 00:19:52 There's three weeks of getting him started to be like, well, our relationship is over. Back to throw him like a frisbee. What the fuck just happened? Gill plans to serve up high lobsters at customers' request. She told the Mount Desert Islander she hopes all lobsters she serves next season will be sedated first. Sorry, can we just pause for a second? So this is in USA Today. She's talked to theoday. She's talked to the Mount Desert Islander. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:27 How many newspapers as she talked to about getting one lobster stoned? So far my count is two. Okay. Now, I do thank you for that count. Welcome. Just seems like you were struggling a bit there. As long as it's really about operating in the best interests of the lobsters that you're killing and not say trying to drum up some publicity for the lobster
Starting point is 00:20:55 restaurant, you know. We put the pot in lobster pot, Gil told today. Shut the fuck up. She's been practicing that one. I'm not on board anymore. Just being like writing down we put the weed in lobster weed. No that doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. And this isn't some half-baked idea either. Oh. I was on board until now. Oh, this gets way worse.
Starting point is 00:21:26 She told the paper she has taken precaution not to accidentally get diners high. Oh, there's nothing worse than eating delicious food while you're a bit stoned. Wouldn't want that to happen. I'm enjoying this flavor too much. Something's gone wrong. I would love if someone invited me over to take edible and it was just a lobster dinner, you know. All right, so you got to want to eat your lobster 45 minutes before the movie starts. The first lobster didn't do shit, so I've eaten three. I'm going to have another lobster, I think. In order to alleviate any and all concern about residual
Starting point is 00:22:10 effect as we will be dealing with the chemical compound THC we will use a different method guilt hold Mount Desert Islander. THC breaks down completely by 392 degrees Fahrenheit I assume therefore we will use both steam as well as a heat process that will expose the meat to 420 degree extended temperature in order to ensure that there was no possibility of carryover effect even though the likelihood of such would be literally impossible. I get it it's 420. Pretty cool. 20 degrees.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah. Trying, really trying to find the niche here of people who think it's very cool to soak your food in weed and cook it to 420 degrees and also really want to make sure they don't get high. Yeah. Big market you're looking for there, lady. That's such a fucking weird pitch. Oh, you love getting stoned right, weed right?
Starting point is 00:23:12 420, bra, weed culture, love it. Token, getting a high, tidoward shirts, love it. This will not get you high. Wouldn't it be crazy if the lobster got high before being eaten by you? It would be crazy so we've taken all precautions. We wouldn't want anything crazy to happen here at Charlotte's legendary lobster pound. For many Americans marijuana has become a way to relieve pain, improve their appetite and ease the side effects of chemotherapy. Thankfully none of that will be happening for you at Charlotte's legendary lobster pan. Charlotte Gill has a medical marijuana caregiver
Starting point is 00:23:51 license in Maine. The Mountain Desert Islander reported. And that license apparently allows you to hotbox lobsters. And it also you can, okay, so you can give people the weed. You can give lobsters the weed, but you are not, under any circumstances allowed to give the people weed in lobster. Yeah, via lobster. You can go from you to a person, you to a lobster, you cannot go you to a lobster to a person. Yep.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I'm amazed this as like you're allowed to do this. Like, I thoult you can't you you you you you you you to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their lobsts. to their lobsters, their lobsts. their lobsts. their lobsts. their lobsts. their lobsts. their their their their their their their their their their their their to to their to their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I their their th. I'm tho-a. tho-au. toeau. thoom. toea. to thoom. to tho. thoo. Lobo-a. Loboes. Loboes. Loboes. Loboes. I. amazed this is like you're allowed to do this. Like I thought you weren't, you can't give like a dog alcohol. Like Peter will be all up in your business if you do that, right? You can be one of those nerds that buys those alcohol-free beers that are just for dogs? That are like, ever wanted to have a beer with your dog? You could be that person. I don't know if maybe that I've just become a lonely a man in my life every now and then I'm sitting there drinking a beer with Louis and I'm like
Starting point is 00:24:51 pretty cool if I could give Louis a beer but I'm not going to give him some. Just give him him half a tub of ice cream. My mom gives beer to her horses. And do they die? They're still going strong, but also a horse is like a horse body is huge. Giving a horse a like splash of a crowd lager, I don't think it's gonna have much impact on a horse. How does she give them, does she give them just like a little sippy or does she give them the whole bottle for them to crush up inside their nightmare mouths? No, it's like a great trick she does where she's like finished most of her beer and she's like check this out And then the horse will sort of put put out both of its front legs on the ground Put its head between its legs pop its mouth up out the other side at the side of its body and then it will use its enormous tongue To sort of grab the end of the bottle and then drink the rest of the beer that's in there. Wow. That is something.
Starting point is 00:25:45 That's country living, baby. It's the Outback Spectacular for you. Oh, this is, this is no good. This is from the dad.com. Bush beer is changing the drinking game with its latest beer. Every beer company says that these days, but this actually has some merit. The biggest change? It's not th, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's th, it's the the the the th, it's not the th, it's not the the the the th, it's not the the the the the th. It's the the thi, it's thi, it's the the the that, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's, it's. It's, it's, it's. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's. It's, it's the, it's the the the the the the the the the the thi. It's not thi. It's not the the thi. It's not the the the the the the. It's not the the the the the the the the the Every beer company says that these days, but this actually has some merit. The biggest change? It's not for you. Specifically, not even for humans. It's a beer for dogs, and it's going to make your pup your new drinking bird. Dogs have cemented their status as man's best friend over the years, yet they continue to renew
Starting point is 00:26:22 their commitment on the reg. Like the years, yet they continue to renew their commitment on the reg. Fuck. Like the family dog, they, I don't care about any of this is fine. Bush announced their dog brew on National Dog Day. It's got no alcohol and no hops, in a beer can and calling it beer. That's frankly, it's a fucking insult to the dog. Yeah, I think Louis would be upset if I gave him that. I'm gonna start giving him beer.
Starting point is 00:26:57 He's big on concepts and like abstract thought, Louis, I've found. Are you trying to imply Starcling that my dog's not intelligent, you're a piece of shit? Feeding in that bone broth like, you fucking idiot, you think this is a fucking beer, don't you? Uh, so Ben, is there any science behind getting a lobster high that we need to know about? I'm so glad you asked. Uh, this isn't peer reviewed is the only thing I would like to say in advance. It's been submitted for peer review but is yet to undergo peer review. So this is a paper that's been submitted to the open access preprint journal. Oh, sorry, it's been published on the open access preprint biology papers website.
Starting point is 00:27:47 BioRXIV? Couldn't tell you. The paper is title effects of vapor exposure to. What'd you say that's a delta nine tetro hydro cannibinal there, Theo? 100%? Yeah, yeah thank very much in the main lobster Homeris Americanus American homeo this is from the abstract of the paper rationale despite a long history of use in synaptic physiology the lobster has been a neglected model for behavioral pharmacology yeah
Starting point is 00:28:23 why are we testing more drugs on lobsters? A restauranteur proposed that exposing lobster to cannabis smoke reduces anxiety and pain during the cooking process. It is unknown if lobster gill respiration in air would result in significant delta nine tetrahydro-canobanoal uptake and whether this would have any detectable behavioral effects. Objective. The primary goal was to determine tissue THC levels in the lobster after exposure to THC vapor. Secondary goals would determine if THC vapor altered locomotor behavior or no susception.
Starting point is 00:28:58 So no sception is like any sensory input you sort of given what the brain gives you to tell you that something bad is happening to pain, the sensation of heat, things like that that tell you that your body is being harmed in some way that's no susception. I just want to kind of ask a question here Ben. When you have put a large amount of THC into your body, has it stopped you from being able to feel pain or other basic senses? I would say it actually makes me very sensitive to physical stimuli in general. Actually just for an example for my life, this afternoon when I got high and went and
Starting point is 00:29:38 got a massage and got probably experienced some of the most pain I felt in years as this very small lady dug her elbow directly into every knot in my body. It did not help with pain relief. One time I was very high and I was cooking a meal in a house in Melbourne and I cut the end of my thumb off. And I definitely knew that I had cut the end of my thumb off and I definitely knew that I had cut the end of my thumb off. You felt it. You know, it's very conscious of it. Didn't really feel like cooking the rest of the meal.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Mm-hmm. Fair enough. Eleanor was kind enough to pick up the piece of my thumb and throw it in the bin. Thanks, Eleanor. But look, I'm just going to say up the piece of my thumb and throw it in the bin. Thanks, Eleanor. But look, I'm just going to say, still smarted. I wasn't like, boy, thank goodness I'm high. Otherwise, thank God I'm impervious to pain because of weed. I would put alcohol far more as a painkiller than weed, right? Yes, like a numbing type thing, yeah, absolutely. Like, or cocaine, like if you have a lot of alcohol and a lot of cocaine at a house party
Starting point is 00:30:50 and then sprain your ankle and tear your ligament, you may not really notice that happening until the next day. What a specific example. Until the next day, when you look at your ankle and it is ththicker than the thigh on your other leg, and you say, huh, that doesn't, hmm. Give lobsters, alcohol and cocaine is, yeah that's what I'm suggesting. I've heard that if you give them a PCP, bullets won't stop them. Give lobsters meth. The methods here, tissue samples were collected from muscle, brain and hemo lymph of Homeris
Starting point is 00:31:29 Americanis, following 30 or 60 minutes of exposed to vapor generated by an e-cigarette device using THC, 100 milligrams per milliliter in a propylene glycol vehicle. Separate experiments assessed locomotive behavior and hot water no susceptible responses following THC vapor exposure. If you're all in the document can I get you to look at the image that follows the words I just read out. Lucy could you describe what you're saying here? What I'm seeing is just a picture of a tub of lobsters and then some labels that make everything sound much more fancy than they are. Lobster in vapor chamber, which is a plastic tub in which it looks a little smoky in there.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Linked up to a vape canister a trigger unit and a programmable controller Basically it's just some pipes connected to a plastic tub. Yeah, and they're just they're pumping in the the the th. th. th. they're th. they're th. th. the th. the the the the the the th. the the the the th. Lob the their their th. Loa th. Loa th. Loa th. Loa they're just they're they're they're they're than they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they are they are they are they are they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their than than than than. than than thanan than. than thanan thananan. than thananan. thanan thanan thanananananananannenee thanananan programmable controller. Basically it's just some pipes connected to a plastic tub. Yeah and they're just pumping in weed smoke and the lobs is locked in. Yeah they are. Put me in that tub. Yeah it's gonna say what I wouldn't give to be a lobster in that chamber but I would also like to be removed from that chamber before I become the lobster who gets chopped up to to see if there's THC in a plastic the plastic the plastic the plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic in a plastic the plastic the plastic the plastic to a plastic to a plastic to a plastic to a plastic. Yeah to a plastic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah.............................. the. the.. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. that chamber before I become the lobster who gets chopped up to see if there's THC in the system. Yeah, that seems like the better situation. So the conclusion of these experiments that they conducted go as follows. In conclusion,
Starting point is 00:32:58 these data confirm a method for studying the effects of aerosol THC exposure and a lobster model. Duration-dependent levels of THC were observed in the species tissue and a reduction in locomotive behavior was produced. So we'd made them slow. I know that feel, buddy. The animals also responded in a temperature dependent manner to the immersion of tail, claw or antenna in a hot hot water bath indicating thermal no-susception. So still hurts to be lowered into very hot water? So they know about hot water still. This latter conclusion would further enhanced by
Starting point is 00:33:32 the observation of differential sensitivity in the pincer and crusher clause. Thus, the assertions of the restauranteau that cannibinoids could be introduced into the lobster by atmospheric exposure and that this would be insufficient amount to induce behavioral effect is supported. But the impact of THC on thermal no-susception was however minimal. Further experimentation will be required to fully investigate other behavioral outcomes including anxiety-like measures. So worth noting that this was submitted like last month. This is three years after this person started doing it. And they've just been like, yeah, this is not doing shit.
Starting point is 00:34:09 You're just a crazy person who's been getting lobsters high for no reason. So I enjoyed the last line there, like, so they need to fully investigate other behavioral outcomes, including anxiety-like measures. So not only do they feel pain, the whole time they're worried that they're holding their claws wrong. I look weird right now. Yeah, I'm not making the right kind of eye contact for a lobster that's being boiled. I'm afraid of this radio head song right now. Just being like dipped into it and just being like, oh, it's very hot. But no, they probably know that it's very hot. No I shouldn't say something. I shouldn't say anything. I'm probably made to be, I'm
Starting point is 00:34:47 probably just weak. Yeah, yeah. I'll get out soon. I don't want them to think that I'm bailing. I'll just hang around for a little while. So not solving the pain issue but getting the lobster very high maybe helping it to reach a slightly higher plane of consciousness and making it very anxious before then boiling in life. Yeah. Cool. We might have stoned ape theory those lobsters. Shout out to Charlotte's legendary lobster pound. Making lobsters anxious before cooking them with steam. Hi everybody, it's me. It's Theo.

Starting point is 00:36:05 Now I know what you might be saying yourself. Dear sweet, beautiful, handsome listener. You might be thinking and then saying aloud, maybe to your partner in the car, or maybe just to yourself. That's fine. It's legal. Nobody can stop you. Might be saying, hey, I bet this is the only story about a animal from the sea being given drugs written in a publication in 2018 That you have this week. That's where you'd be wrong. God you're so fucking wrong
Starting point is 00:36:46 Idiot. We've returned to the well again. That well being the ocean. It's a big world. It's a big world. It's a big world. It's a? It's a big. It's a big. It's a big.

It's beautiful. Isn't everything though? No. No, some things are from man, anime. Yeah, Bitcoin. That's not from nature. Bitcoin, fine. Because I got a question, if something comes from space, perhaps a meteorite, lands on the earth, is that part of nature? No, you're right. That's certainly not part of, that exists outside of nature.
Starting point is 00:37:24 It's outside the environment. Yeah. That's space. Okay. Like humans, octopus has become more sociable and engaged after a dose of the party drug, MDMA. Oh, to be a scientist. You can ask whatever question you want. I wonder, what happens if you give a rat speed? God, imagine. Imagine if we funded our science departments correctly, you know? What could we be learning? We would completely fill in that matrix of animals on one side, drugs on the other.
Starting point is 00:38:01 We've got bears and crocodil. Drawing a big line between them on the other. We've got bears and crocodile. Direcholism on the whiteboard. Otters and Phenazapam Swans and Fernurgan. You could just give a swanfernurgan if you went into the park. You could be so funny. You just see its little head, just seen like slowly tripping over. Walking around and its neck and its head are just trailing behind its butt. Oh no. Not sneezing though. It is time to finally discover the impact of flaming hot cheetos on the digestive system of the humble black monkey.
Starting point is 00:38:51 What kind of monkey was it? Spider monkey. Spider monkey. Creepy, spider monkey. Yeah, but that woman that worked at the zoo. She absolutely worked at the zoo. That's the first time I felt compelled to step in and correct to make on the podcast. And you know, from the very start I was like,
Starting point is 00:39:10 I'm pretty certain she works at a law firm, but maybe there's new information that came to light. I won't, I won't ask. Maybe she was on the zoo's legal team. In the human brain, MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, triggers the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin, causing feelings of happiness and closeness to others. Yeah, it does. Mmm. Tick-dean, tick-deen, tick-a-din.
Starting point is 00:39:38 What happens if you put a bit of trance on for some octopi. You know? The California Two-Spot optip octopus has a serotonin transport system similar to that of humans. I, just one more fucking reason I can't eat octopus's, you know? Because the serotonin transport system, yeah. That's always a deal breaker for me.
Starting point is 00:39:57 So the transport system starts with like a guy in the beat and ends with a taxi home. I don't know. To determine whether this system serves the same function in octopus's and humans, a question we really need it answered. Eric Ed Singer at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, this doubles as a whole report. Americans love having places called something whole. Yeah. I know Woods Hole. A lot of the scientists at the University of Hawaii used to go to Woods Hole.
Starting point is 00:40:34 So it's a big, big science place, Woods Hole. Sorry, not, the rest of us don't travel in marine biology circles. Yeah. Woods hole, big in marine biology circles. Just talking down the hole. Everybody need anything? circles. Yeah, Wood's all big in marine biology circles. Stuckin' down the hole. Everybody need anything? Eric Ed Singer and Gould Doolin at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, submerged five octopuses in MDMA laced water and tested their behavior around others of their kind. I love that all of these experiments can be written on the back of a napkin.
Starting point is 00:41:08 And probably were when they were being drafted. No, fucking listen, no shut up, listen, here we go. After a lot of cocaine. You put them in a tank, and that is the description of both of these experiments. Yeah, the how do we administer the drugs to the animal, the answer in both cases where you just, just submerge them in it. It's a shame you can't gently, vaguely erotically place a pill on an octopus's tongue. See you in half an hour. You'd have to, you'd have to tuck it up into the little hole. Oh, the little beet, where the little mouth is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Oh, ugh. You tickle it so it opens its beak. You just flick the pill in real quick. Massaging its head so it swallows it. As there's marine biologists kind of shaking their head at this, the procedure section of this because they all know it's much easier to shelve an MDMA pill for an octopus. Well luckily not a single marine biologist listens to this podcast so it won't come out. Not a single one. No one knows any better. I was reading something I'm gonna have to find it and come back to
Starting point is 00:42:22 one here I was reading somebody recounting being attacked by squids while they were diving under water. Oh no, no. So they're like... Stay out of the ocean. Yeah, they're pretty far under water and they were like, yeah, and this squid just came shooting out of the darkness and slapped itself onto me. Oh no, no, no. And it like pulled the fucking tank off the guy's back. Oh, God. And he went, oh, and then pulled it off, started swimming up, another squid
Starting point is 00:42:53 comes shooting out, grabs on to him and starts swimming downwards. And he manages to peel that one off, and then a last one comes and slaps onto the back of his neck, which is the only part of his body that was exposed from outside of his suit and stabbing it with all its little pincers that are in the suckers. This is just a guess, but this seems like exactly the sort of shit that Humboldt squid would do. And just feel it. This is Humboldt squid ridden all over it. And yeah, the last one was like trying th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, th, the th, the th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and, th, and, and, th, th, th, th, and, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th's, th's, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thab-s, the the thab-s, thabbing, they's, they's, tha, they his mask off as he was getting up and then that was...
Starting point is 00:43:25 They're smarter than us. The other one was hot wiring a car to drive to his house to fuck his wife. Just come home and see your wife with a squid. I've seen that painting. I believe you have in person. In person. Based on a true story. The dream of the guy being attacked by squid's wife.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Well, thank God that ordeal is over. Honey, you won't believe the day I've had. You didn't answer the door when I knocked. You didn't answer the door when I knocked! Just one tentacle coming out from underneath his walk-in robe. Wife's got a bunch of those the markings from the sucker brings on its tentacles on her. Whose ink is that? Who's ink is that? So what, uh, what do octopuses do after you dip them in your ecstasy vat that you have in the corner of the, of the lab? After absorbing the drug, the animals ignored toys such as Star Wars figurines that would have
Starting point is 00:44:47 normally intrigued them. Instead, the octopus is socialized and spent more time touching one another with their arms than these creatures usually do. I'm enjoying the fact that apparently, on like an emotional maturity level, there's octopuses and the people who populate the game store Zing seem to be on equal standings. Fucking, every time I go to the Intrapilly shopping center with my friend Peck, which is somehow we go there like once every couple of weeks. I have no fucking idea why every single time we walk past it's just like, do you need anything from Zing? Like, that's the fucking shitiest, fucking, the game, which, which, the game, th, th, th, th, to be, th, th, th, th, th, th, to be, th, th, th, th, to be, th, to be, to be, to be, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem to be, seem to be, seem to be, seem to be, seem to be, seem to be, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, seem, th, th, seem, th, th, th, th, thi, seem, seem, seem, thi, the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the, I have no fucking idea why. Every single time we walk past is just like, do you need anything from Zigg? Like that's the fucking shitiest fucking bit to do.
Starting point is 00:45:29 It's tremendous. Because no, I don't need anything from there, please stop asking. I don't need a shirt that has the flash icon on it. I don't need any fucking, hey, hey, uh, hey, you got, you you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you,? Oh, you need some F pops. Are they calling them pops? Are they calling them pops? I bet somebody's calling pops. Do you like anything from the glass display area? Maybe a 1-8th-
Starting point is 00:45:54 I'm gonna get a key out. Imagine having to go and ask for that key. Hey, that one-eighth-sized, um- M-Fuette-Sizz. Foyd, fucking Samus for $460. That really caught my eye. Is that where they keep the like big titty figurines? I don't think these people actually have the courage, yeah, to have the big, titty figurines in there, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Gotta be an independent comic book store for that kind of bravery. I respect the horniness more than I respect the unhorny version of collecting those things. At least it's an ethos. If the Marvel Cinematic Universe had full penetration, I would discard all my prior... All your prejudices about it being for babies. If I got to see Beast and Saberooth rail each other. I'm in. We'd all get to see the Hulk's penis at last, you know? I'm sure you can. If the Hulk was a stunt. Well yeah, yeah, but it's...Hulk penis. For instance. I guess what I'm saying is I want to see Canon Hulk penis penis. I want to see it's got to be official.
Starting point is 00:47:07 I need to see the Marvel Studios logo come up before that. I need a behind. But then I want to see the credits and then wait to see a little extra, a little extra funny content after the credits. That's the worst thing I can imagine. I want to see a behind the scenes feature whereette where they're showing me like all of the little motion capture dots that they pressed onto Mark Ruffalo's penis. We did a full scan of Mark Ruffalo's foreskin and that's what we modeled the larger Green Hulk's foreskin off.
Starting point is 00:47:39 You can see here that the level of detail we've gone into on the shaders is just crazy. That's what I'm looking for. Well the findings of this study suggest that serotonin played an important part in social behavior and the common ancestor of octopuses and vertebrates. Basically just the same thing. Whose branches on the family tree separated more than 500 million years ago. And Ben, if I'm looking at my watch correctly, that's a good stretch. Yep, that's a fair period of time. That's absolutely correct.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Yeah. That's kind of, all right, so like, these guys are not very related to us at all. Because they're probably... Because they're from space. Because they aren't. They came here from they're from space. Because they are... They came here from the Dark Planet Nibiru. I believe it. Like we're probably closer related to cows, you know? I would say not not probably but... Definitely. Potentially. Thank you. That's the only scientific endorsement I need. So what I'm saying is, if you give Mnimé to a cow... Oh boy. Are they just going to be like, the the, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their,. That's the only scientific endorsement I need. So what I'm saying is if you give MDMA to a cow, Oh boy. Are they just going to be like walking around a field, like rubbing on each other? You know? When are you giving them Mdiaman you give them that um, what are the machines that they press cows with?
Starting point is 00:49:00 By the lady by the lady? By the lady. The lady... What are you talking about? They press cows with. The machine that they press cows. Yes. Oh my god. Ah, for turning your cows into a cube, like a car crusher thing. For milking them?
Starting point is 00:49:20 It's from a lady who... Oh my god, you're killing me. You were killing you. Jennifer Lopez. Let's think of a lady. Name a lady off the top of your head. Just name any lady. I'm going to put in cow hug machine into Duck Duck Go.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Merrill Streep. And then you will feel very silly because. It's going to be egg on our faces in a second. So that's right by Temple Grandin. Oh, Temple Grandin. A hug machine also known as a hug box squeeze machine or a squeeze box is a deep pressure device designed to calm hypersensitive persons usually individuals on the autism spectrum. The therapeutic stress relieving device was invented by Temple Grandin while she was attending college and I thought she got the idea, yeah there we go,
Starting point is 00:50:13 so cattle squeeze shoots such as the portal one pictured here and just picture it and you, you could just simply picture a cow in your mind, etc. were Grandin's inspiration for her hug machine? And I hope that all made you feel a little bit foolish for lambasting me, whipping me upon the podcasting stone, etc. Can I just, I'm going to peel the curtains back for a little second here. When you said that, were you hoping that was going to be a throwaway line where the three of us would be like, oh of course.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Oh, yeah. Waited blankets for cows. We all know about that. Right. I had assumed a certain base level of knowledge, but I will not do that again. I'm also currently being being bitten by known. I'll never assume that you guys are smart ever again. I was picting. I. I. I.to press a cow into a cube, you know. Yeah, that's exactly what I was picturing all. These cows are taken up too much space and they're not stackable. Ben, speaking of pulling back the curtain. Oh my God. Which you truly love to do, even though he's the thing which you truly love to do. Even though he's the thing, he says he doesn't love to do it.
Starting point is 00:51:29 I hate to do it, you know, I always doing it. I want people to have a polished appearance of a podcast. I want them to see the seams. I don't want them to know how the sausage is made. I just want them to slurp. I them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them them to slurpip to slurp. I to slurp. I to slurp. I just slurp. I just slurp. I just slurp. I just slurp. I just tho. I just tho.

I just slurp. I just to slurp. I just to slurp. I like it. It's like reality TV. They feel like they're our friends. They send us really rude comments on Twitter because they think that we're their best friends. That's what I love about this. That's what I always be kind of like holding us on a high pedestal I feel. And we were sort of bring that, bring that down a little by just showing that we are kind of human ourselves. We are kind of human ourselves. We wee ourselves. We are. We are. We are, we th. We are, we are kind. We are kind. We are kind. We are kind. We are kind. We are kind th. We are kind th.

Starting point is 00:52:09 Elegant. She's a big raceful. She's a big rift to Dragula, etc. But God, that was a good day when we all did that. We are fallible. So let us, let us show you how that sausage is made. Then more than us. the sausages is halfway in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in in their in their in their in their in th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the sausage is, the sausage is, th. th. th. th. th. the sausage is, the sausage is, the sausage is, the sausage is, the sausage is, their the sausages, I don't know about that, until the sausages are halfway in your mouth and they've got a wheel in on those CIT TV VCR combos on wheels that you had at school,
Starting point is 00:52:31 and then press play on a video of the sausage being made, here it is. Andrew what would you like to tell the listener? Uh, the, you, Ben, not the listener of the show, the guy who's on it now, although you will listen to it later when you edit it. It's true. So if you're listening to it as you edit it, yeah. Hey, good to see it. It was fun recording the episode with you. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Uh, Ben informed me earlier. He said, hey, Andrew, did you know that on the, uh, Bunt of the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, too, too, too, too, too, the, too, too, too, too, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, to me, to, to me, to me, as you're, as you're, as you're, as you're, to, to, as you, as you, as you, as you, as you, as you, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me.. to me. to me.. to me. too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, to me, to. to. to. to to, to to to to, to to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, our listeners have been going. Nearly all of them. So apparently the spam folder only goes back 30 days, but there were 16 very nice pieces of correspondence in there, which to me, and my maths is a letter every two days. And we have no way of knowing how far back we have not been receiving Lister emails for a bunch of them are very funny. That's exactly what it's for. I don't know why Gmail did this, but we, the reason I, I did this is we got a voicemail from someone being like, hey, I don't know if you got the email that I sent you.
Starting point is 00:53:36 And my first reaction was to be like, fuck you. If we didn't respond, it's for, I don't actually remember seeing that. Went back through our inbox and I was like, I wonder what's in the spam folder. And you had tons of, we got three or four people saying, hey, I duck dot go imaged the Fresno Nightcrawler, thank you very much. And if you haven't done that, now's a chance. Yeah, this some stories and stuff. I think we have been missing a lot of these for a very long time. Cool. Sorry. Oh, well, that's on, fucking Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Mothuckers.
Starting point is 00:54:18 You pieces of shit. I believe both of you have since cashed out from the company and probably no longer responsible. But fuck you. Hmm, fuck you anyway. I mean we wouldn't stop being mad at Professor Frankenstein if he sold the monster, would we? For sale. He gets, if someone's banging on the door, right? He opens it up, it's a mob, pitchforks, tortures, whole deal. And he's like,
Starting point is 00:54:45 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I sold that thing to a guy named Ben for 500 bucks. Go and see him about it. Ask Ben about my monster. Do you think that that would fly? I don't. Probably not. Anyway, that does mean that somebody has sent something in to the hotline. You can send us an email. Mail back at Bultavista.com. Maybe DM us on Twitter. You could even message Facebook. We don't really check the Facebook. Yeah. 8003175-5. That's the Boulter Vista hotline. One, 800, three, one, seven, five, that's the Bntavista hotline. 1-8003175-5-that's the Buntavista Hotline. That's the Buntavista Hotline. Here is something that someone did send in to the Patreon.
Starting point is 00:55:57 And that's a place where we'll see things and they won't be automatically... Yeah, automatically sent off down to a hole. And hey, if you do send an email to Mailbag at Buunavist.com,. That, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's thiuuuuuucovunto, that's that's thiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuii! that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's that's, that a hole. And hey if you do send an email to mail bag at Budavist.com, maybe we'll see it from now on, you know? I'll be checking that spam file, spam folder on the reg now, I think, might just make that part of my processes. I had definitely thought, huh, people have really dropped off with writing into the show. Especially where we've explicitly demanded. There was one in there where, you know, you the the the episode, you the episode, the episode, the episode, the episode, th, to, to, to, the episode, to, to, to, to, to, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th. to, to, to, to, the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to email, to email, to, to to email, to, to the email, the email, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, the the the email, the email, the email Well there was one in there where you know the episode where we asked for people to send it like six different things. Someone did all of them. Excellent and we just we've said into the internet's toilet with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:36 You know. This one is from Blaine. Great episode but I feel you skirted around one important question. Now I believe this is in reference to the lady who worked at the zoo, where she went on to feed flaming hot Cheetos to the spider monkeys. And that was of course in the bonus episode, Flaming hot Junji eatos. One important question, if you could illegally break into the enclosure of any zoo animal and give it food what animal would it be and what would you feed it to peeer spaghetti all right to tapir tapir tapir spaghetti I don't know how to say that word
Starting point is 00:57:17 I'm given that you because you guys know it a tapir it looks like that fun mouth so they've got that little mini trunk going over. So the spaghetti's going to be coming up by the sides of his mouth around the trunk, slurping up that spaghetti. Oh, I'm bringing in like a 20 liter of hot spaghetti for those tapirs. And it is going to be a delight for me and the tapeers. the tapears is tape is going is tape is tape is tap is going is tap is the tap is to to be the the to be to be the the tapi. to be to be the to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a delight is going to be a delight is going to be a delight is to be a delight to be a delight to be a delight to me to to me to to me to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tapier. the the the the tapi. the tapier. tapirs. the tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. tapirs. to their tape is.

Starting point is 00:57:51 You can get one for 50 cents from the gift store. I don't think you have to worry about thrift in this scenario. I know that that's normally how you live your life. This is a sort of fantastical larger than life. I cannot turn th th th th th th th th th. I the the th. I'm the th. I'm the th. I'm the th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi.

Starting point is 00:58:21 All right. Let's see him fuck that thing up. I don't know. I feel, alright, I'm given a giraffe something, because whatever the giraffe is eating, it's going to be comical. And I'm putting it on the ground for. I'm putting it on the ground and I'm giving the giraffe a yambo. A yambo.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I'm giving a giraffe a yambo.

It's gonna take the sesame bun, be relatively enjoying itself and then find not one but five slices of hot ham. Of warm. Warm ham. It's not really that hot. It's warm ham. You've bought it at the Hungry Jacks over in Darling Harbor.
Starting point is 00:59:12 You've gotten on the ferry over to Taronga Zoo. You've waited to get in. You've walked down to the bottom where the giraffe enclosure is. You've pulled it out of your pocket. You've tried to to to the, to the, the, to the bun, the bun, the bun, the bun, the bun, the bun, the bun enclosure is. You've pulled it out of your pocket, you've tried to put it back into shape, it's now very lukewalled. It's dry, like the buns dry, he's not enjoying it at all. He's mad at me. The Yumbo does not travel well. It wouldn't. It really wouldn't. I've got a great news to close us out on a very underwater animals-themed episode of this show. I have found
Starting point is 00:59:47 the 1991 Los Angeles Times article deep trouble about the scientist who didn't know much about Jumbo squid until he learned the hard way. This is about Alex Kirstitche, who was 46 at the time in 1991. He was taking photos for the latest issue of Baja Explorer magazine. So he goes off, he dives, he sees some wild shit. I think he sees the, I think he sees the, I think he sees the squids grab onto a shark and eat it. And he's thinking, cool.
Starting point is 01:00:30 I'm going to hang out with these guys. This is making for a great photo. And so he had also like had a friend who had been grabbed by the squids before and told him about it, right? So this is, this is from like three quarters of the way through the article. As he tried to snap pictures of the rubber-like projectiles shooting about, displaying what Kirstitch described as a quote, frenzied behavior, he felt himself sinking, then noticed that a large squid had wrapped around his right swim fin and was pulling him down.
Starting point is 01:01:04 At this point, Kirstitch was not too concerned. His friend had told him before the trip that one of his other friends had experienced a similar incident but the squid had quickly let go. As I was going down I thought, gee that's funny, the same thing happened to Howard's friend, Kostu said. After that, things started to happen pretty fast. Kostitch kicked the squid off his foot the squid off his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his s squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid the squid off his foot his foot his foot his foot his foot his th.

He's, t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. too. t. t. t. t, things started to happen pretty fast. Kirstitch kicked the squid off his right foot with his left, then began to ascend, when another squid shot out of the dark and attached itself to the back of his neck, the only part of his body not covered by the neoprene wetsuit or dive equipment. I felt the cold embrace of the tentacles with their sharp-toothed suction cups digging into my bare skin, Kirstitch recalled. Oh, God! It was like somebody throwing a cactus on my neck.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Thank you for relating it to an experience. Such a relatable experience. Never had a squid thrown on me, but I have had a cactus thrown that beautiful. He struck the mollusk with his dive light and it released its grip, disappearing into the dark, along with the light and the gold chain Kirstitch was wearing. No! There's just some really cool looking squid out there somewhere. It's a squid but it's like on those tweety posters where he's a gangster. Lord forgive me it's time to go back to the old meat. That's a new piece of merch right there.
Starting point is 01:02:26 We'll work on that one. Beautiful. Now, 4.23 a.m. going back for more diver. Now Kirstitch wanted out. So he wasn't, it wasn't that worried before, but now he's like, I've had enough of the squids. It takes a lot to rumble this guy. Now Kirstitch wandered out, but he was attacked yet another time by a large squid that rushed out of the darkness and wrapped all ten of its tendicles around his face and chest.
Starting point is 01:02:54 In total darkness, I felt the animal tugging at my mask and camera, Cursed said. Concerned over the powerful beak. the the the the the the the the th. th. the th. th. the the, the, the, their the, the, their the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, theaughed, the, the, theaughed, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tuce, tie, tuce, tie, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise, ise.a.a.a.a.aughea, isaea, isa.aeaeae.aeae the powerful beak, I grabbed the squid firmly, digging my fingers into its body. The squid released his face, then slid down to his waist and began dragging him towards the dark water below. Then began giving me the best blowjob I've ever received in my entire life. The squid eventually let go after taking Kirstitch's decompression meter.
Starting point is 01:03:25 Kostitch finally made it to the dive ladder and climbed out of the water, his neck covered with nasty lesions from sharp protrusions on the suction cups of the tentacle creatures, but was otherwise unhurt. No, thank you. Surely that'd be a... Fuck the Ocean forever. I'm now 100% a dry boy. The only, the only thing that could make that more, like my word for word, literal nightmare is just being killed by the squids at the end. Yeah. Or if the squids were, uh, psychic.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Oh. They do have beaks, man. Yeah. Oh, so that's why. Yeah, I can see how they have that in common. Feeling a lot better about birds these days. Oh, you've been taking so many photos of them. Yeah. Bird watching. I feel nice about birds now. Real bird guy over here. Good, good bird vibes. So that's it. That's it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening. We hope that this has answered some questions you didn't know you had about lobsters getting the lobsters high, octopuses getting the octopus is high. And putting a gold chain onto a squid. God, that'd be cool. Really cool. Imagine seeing that guy. Give me the sexiest squid you've got. No, no, that's too sexy. Oh, all right. That's it, everybody. See you next week. Bye-bye. Bye. Bye.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Bye. Bye. you
